Spirit Crossing

Cork O'Connor Mysteries, Book 20

De: William Kent Krueger

Narrado por: David Chandler

William Kent Krueger—“a master storyteller at the top of his game” (Kristin Hannah)—returns with a breathtaking new novel in his New York Times bestselling Cork O’Connor series.

After the teenage daughter of a prominent Minnesota politician goes missing, a huge manhunt is launched to find her. But when Cork O’Connor’s grandson Waaboo stumbles across the shallow grave of a young Ojibwe woman while hunting blueberries, nobody seems to care. Nobody, that is, except Cork and the newly formed Iron Lake Ojibwe Tribal Police Department. As Cork and the tribal officers dig into the circumstances of her murder, they discover a link to the missing girl that suggests these are not isolated incidents, but evidence of something much more sinister.

Already, tensions in the small town of Aurora, Minnesota, are high as residents gather to protest an oil pipeline that is being constructed through the pristine forests sacred to the Ojibwe at a place known as Spirit Crossing. In the meantime, little Waaboo, who has a unique connection with the dead woman, has become a target for the killers, and Cork’s daughter, Annie, has returned home with a secret that threatens to tear the family apart. The closer Cork gets to finding the answers he seeks, the more he fears for the people he loves.

So much more than just another murder mystery

The Cork O’Connor series overall has been excellent. Granted, there have been a few that I didn’t enjoy much, but there have been others that are just breathtaking. The author makes the people and the country a part of the series. I really enjoyed this latest book in the series.

Good story. Narration was weird

Narrator made it hard to get thru. Flat,every character had the same personality and intonation was really off

Love this series!

Great story, characters and sincerity. I’ve read all 20 books. Each one gets better and better.

So sad...

I love this series so much! I couldn't stop listening. Such a sad ending. WKK is a fantastic writer and storyteller and I am so glad that David Chandler has narrated the entire series. He does a fantastic job! I'm ready for the next book now...hint, hint.

Great story. Cringy narration.

Love this author and this whole series but David Chandler’s intonation is so off putting for most of the characters it was hard to listen to. His normal reading voice is awesome so I don’t really get why he did the characters so awkwardly. But again, I love this series and that the indigenous people are key in these books.

Another chapter in the world of the O Connersi

I love the characters who by now have become family.
This story had too many crises and moved too slowly

My heart and my mind ❤️

…were opened by reading the first book in the Cork O’Conner series and continues to open wider with each book. Thank you Mr. Krueger.

Outstanding as usual!

Love this family and as always, I learn about the “boundary waters” far from where I’ve lived. This book was sad in many ways but uplifting on many other ways. I love this family of characters and am happy to come home to catchup. Looking forward to #21.

One of his best!

A great story with a wonderful message
Magnificently narrated as usual by David Chandler. William Kent Krueger just keeps getting better and better! I can’t wait for the next one in this series

Another amazing chapter in the saga

I loved this book! I always enjoy WKK’s words as they are read by David Chandler.
